maxcpu's settings in Uboot.

[kumarabhimeswar]

Hi ,

I am working on Sabre auto board. There are 4 cpus running on linux kernel.

In  Bootargs i set maxcpus as 1 at Uboot. So that during initial   boot time kernel boots with single CPU to reduce 300ms boot time.

Later after mounting the file system using sysfs  i tried to enable the rest of CPU's. But rest of 3 CPU's were not enabled.

Scrip ran :

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[123]/online

Verified with :

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Regards,

Bhimesh.

  I am afraid, it is not possible to enable / disable CPUs after boot maxcplus option.

The sysfs allows to change CPU states dynamically (online / offline), assuming all

needed CPUs are enabled during initialization.

Have a great day,
Yuri
